Design and development of a force torque sensor characterization testbench
Force and torque sensors are decreasing their performance after several loading cycles. This thesis will focus on the development of a complete testbench that will be able to fully characterize the sensor during it's lifetime
Keywords: Robotics manipulation, force torque sensor, 6-axis force sensor, fatigue mechanisms, testing
In this project an actuated testbench and its accompanying software tools for characterizing a miniaturized force torque sensor. The testbench should be able to apply 3 forces and 3 moments. Emphasis will be given to the robust and precise mechanical design of the system to endure multiple loading cycles

Overview of Mechatronics topics and study subjects. Identification of minimum 10 pertinent refereed articles or works in the literature in consultation with supervisor or instructor. After 4 weeks, submission of a 2-page proposal outlining the value, state-of-the art and study plan based on these articles. After feedback on the substance and technical writing by the instructor, project commences.
